"It's great. Get the ground sheet."
"I'm a big fan of our Big Agnes Bunkhouse 4."
"I have the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 which fits me and my golden retriever."
"It's my 'glamping' backpacking tent."
"If you're considering the Fly Creek, get the Tiger Wall instead."
"I have a Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 2 tent that I use for car camping, it's got a huge 'front porch' area that’s good for shade and sitting out rainy days."
"I switched up to a Tiger Wall 2 and it’s a hella lot of tent for 1.2kg."
"Also look at Big Agnes Bunk House"
"No complaints using it car camping and backpacking so far."

Gazelle

Nemo
